Are these cases compromised?

One of my friends called and asked a question I was not 100% sure I had the right answer for. He proceeded to tumble (corn media) his 7 mm WSM cases. By mistake he threw in the tumbler around 20 cases already primed ready for reloading. Are these still good to go after being in the tumbler for couple hours I’d assume? Is the integrity of the primers comromised?
 
If your question is if they will fire or safe to fire. Yes.

You can always try firing a dummy round. Shove a used ear plug place of bullet and fire it ?. It works, and it kinda hurts. For 7mm you may have to cut it down a bit. A full plug works perfectly in a 9mm or 45.
